21. Morning Marketeers...

and lurkers. I am back at work today. It has been a sad time down on Bro's farm.

They had a fire on one of their farm hands trailer's. Their beloved cattle dog was overcome by smoke and died. and the trailer was a total loss. We lost an antique piano that belonged to great great grandma and had come across the desert in a covered wagon. We were ok with that but sadly the worst was to come.

Good Friday morning, the sheriff and a deputy came early in the morning to inform them that my SIL only child (son by first hubby) had been killed in a MVA. She is really taking it hard, and their adopted daughter is too (this is the first person close to her that has died). And as young people are want to do, he left a hot mess behind.

They are going to be dealing with that for a while. They are active in the church and she was a foster mom for many years so they have lots of help working through it. I took my niece out for a day trip to talk and take her mind off things for a while. The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour and Yellow Submarine were a hit. And really ...sometimes all you need is love.

We went to a wonderful small town cafe that sells the best pies and coffee. She loved that. She especially liked their slogan-pie makes everything better. This is how gourmands are born.
